Artefil has a patent. All our members should already be aware of this. So it isn\'t viable to inject it in the US. It\'s not illegal, it\'s just not an option due to the carrier and the price.
Silicone is an underground thing. There are numerous forums devoted to it and they get the injections done illegally. FDA banned medical grade silicone. There was a Dr in Miami who did it, but you had to be a member of certain forums to get his details. There is still a Dr in London that does it and one in Frankfurt, but they are also operating illegally. Hence it\'s \"underground.\"
We know there will be bad cases with
PMMA. There will be with any filler. But silicone has a bad history. It was banned for a reason. Some Dr\'s have used a loophole which means they can still inject \"off label.\" However, they are very clear that it should only be done using a micro droplet technique, where by tiny amounts are injected, weeks apart. So a wrinkle would typically be filled over two sessions, with a total of less than 1 cc used. No one in the US injects large amounts to fill big volume areas.
There are different types of granulomas. Some or more aggressive to the surrounding tissue than others. Silicone produces scelorosing (sp?) granulomas and they are fierce. You can see that it has a harsher immune response by just looking at Bluemales photos. When you have a silicone granuloma, despite it being injected under the skin, it\'s common for it to destroy the surrounding tissue, hence it will attack the shaft skin.
Also no one, including Dr Loria, has the first clue as what we should expect regarding serious complication rates with silicone or how best to treat it. Read what he said to Bluemale about being able to inject \"something\" to get rid of it. It\'s another total lie. But despite so much evidence that he\'s a dodgy character, by simply being able to inject a substance that can make a penis bigger, the guy is still able to garner the interest of our members. It\'s so easy to appeal to male vanity that it makes many men incredibly vulnerable to making bad decisions. This is why guys like me post in what is seen as a very negative way, that annoys many members. As unpopular as it is to point out the craziness of considering a procedure like this, it\'s actually pretty necessary as the lure of having a big penis makes it damn easy for most guys to develop a kind of tunnel vision that blinds them to obvious red flags.
The way many people go about getting
PMMA is no better in my opinion. Going for round after round of high concentration
PMMA is very different from the idea of using
PMMA as an alternative to Belloderm/Alloderm or
FFT in my opinion. With those methods the patient is lucky to gain to gain 1/2\". So the risks of using a moderate amount of permanent filler seemed favorable compared to under going surgery. But I don\'t think that is true of what we are seeing now and certainly not when you throw silicone oil into the equation.
I understand very well what it\'s like to live with physical defects on your penis. I did that for a decade! So genuinely do understand why you\'d give anything to have them corrected. But you need to be aware that this desperation to resolve your problems will allow you to think in an irrational way in order to justify making a decision which gives you a chance of getting the resolution you want.
